Q&A: Will satellite radio or internet radio through a cell phone work in a concrete building?

January 23rd, 2011

Question by Teekee Weekee: Will satellite radio or internet radio through a cell phone work in a concrete building?
I recently got a job at the dept of revenue, and have run through my ipod, and am tired of the radio. I have sirius in my car and love it and was wondering if the stiletto would work inside my work. If not could i get an iphone or something, and would that be able to receive the internet it needs?

I’m not sure about internet radio through a cell phone – it depends on whether your cell phone browser works in the area. However, unless you have window access, I pretty much doubt the satellite radio will work. Our XM receiver sits on a window sill and sometimes cuts out when a big truck drives by and limits the direct line to the sky.

Good luck!
